More than 99% of the vertebrate ocular lens is comprised of terminally differentiated lens fiber cells.
As occurs in mammalian red blood cells, lens fiber cell differentiation includes the loss of all membranous cytoplasmic organelles.
Unlike red blood cells, however, the lens fiber cell is not destroyed after a limited life span but survives for the life of the organism. The extreme changes in cellular architecture that occur during differentiation require extensive remodeling of the (...)
